Jonny, June, and Their Handsome Boys: We Give Thanks

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! First, we headed up to see Jon's brother Brian and his family. We love going to visit them, their home is fun, peaceful, and happy. It had been too long since we last saw them. We headed there on Tuesday and stayed until Friday afternoon. Went spent most of our time playing with the kids and the kids were so sweet and loving to Jackson. I went out one night with Mandy and Hali to Charming Charlies and Bath and Body Works and that was fun to have a girls night. Jon stayed home with Brian and the boys and did manly things like prepping the turkey. Our last day there Jon and I went on a quick date back to Charming Charlies to return something and to Bath and Body Works. Jon had snagged a coupon in our mail before we left and surprised me by getting my favorite Vanilla Bean Noel lotion and Body Spray. Then we headed to do our traditional Black Friday Target run, but we didn't find anything good this year. Jon's niece Milaya babysat Jackson for us. It is always good to have time away but we always miss that little guy. When we got back, we all went to get Frozen Yogurt which has become sort of a tradition when we visit. Jackson gobble mine up, especially the strawberries. Then, it was time to say goodbye. We had a wonderful visit and great food for Thanksgiving.

On Friday afternoon we headed for a quick stay with my cousins Jeff and Nicole who live about an hour from Brian and Mandy. My parents were there along with Uncle Otto, Aunt Susy, Uncle Jackie, Aunt, Cindy, Uncle Mark, Jeff, Nicole, Natalie, and Jack. We were there less than 24 hours but in that time I made a Thanksgiving wreath and a Christmas pot holder. All of the ladies waited on me to craft. Even though I am so terribly NOT artsy, it was fun and I did decently well on the crafts. I really enjoyed it a lot!

We got back home Saturday evening and had a nice busy Sunday and then were able to relax after church.
